How big it is
As a car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
A good match for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
A longer test drive
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Electra for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Try the Electra on your commute, then decide.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
